EEA Report 2/2006 - Integration of environment into EU agriculture policy - the IRENA indicator-based assessment reporthttp://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/eea_report_2006_2
This report aims to provide a fair reflection of the
progress, the achievements and obstacles in the
integration of environmental concerns into EU
agriculture policy, based on indicators developed in
the IRENA operation (see Section 1.3). It also tackles
limitations to successful policy implementation
at Member State level, and challenges ahead.No publishersoilCAPagri-environmentorganic agricultureagricultureammonialandscapehigh nature valueair qualityagri-environment indicatorsclimate changeIRENAerosionwater quantitylow-input farmingfoodglobal warmingwater qualitysalinisationHNVpolicy integrationbiodiversityhigh-input farmingorganic farmingwater pollution from agriculturemethaneNatura 2000consumption patternsnitratespesticides2006/03/21 10:00:00 GMT+1PublicationEEA Briefing 1/2006 - Assessing environmental integration in EU agriculturehttp://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/briefing_2006_1

(This video has no audio.)
The uptake of carbon from the atmosphere by natural vegetation, soils, forests and agricultural land ('terrestrial biosphere') is an important part of the carbon cycle. Carbon uptake by vegetation can lessen the increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and in Europe can be increased by planting forests and other land management measures. But the additional potential storage capacity for the EU in forestry and agriculture is estimated to be relatively small, and climate change may cause more fires, pests and storm damage as well as increasing water stress, particularly in the Mediterranean area. These conditions would curtail plant growth and reduce the amount of carbon stored in the biosphere.
